Just a simple email to the ooobleague@gmail.com email address, copying the other party in the trade.

We have not discussed using any sort of instant messaging system at this time. Both commissioners have been in a league for the last several months that have used emails as the main mode of communications and found it to work pretty well. I have never been one to want to force people to download any sort of program for communication. I've used hangouts in the past.

I have always been partial to Aim as a chat room for OOTP leagues, but in the past few months they all seem to be switching to SLACK. And I have to agree it is much better. AIM was crashing on me quite often,

I'll take the Brewers

mgom27 · 03-28-2016, 07:50 AM

Why did you call it Out of Option because MLB Rosters have Out of Options people?

geoffmatt17 · 03-28-2016, 08:51 AM

Shame you added the DH to the NL. I'd have wanted the Braves.
